Medium's Terms of Service were updated on April 26, 2026, but the detected changes appear to be primarily formatting and interface updates rather than substantive modifications to user rights or obligations. The most notable change involves repositioning language about Medium's right to discontinue services, which was moved within the document layout. The document continues to state that Medium may stop providing services at its sole discretion, a longstanding provision that remains functionally unchanged.
